I really need someone to help me with this.?

Question

i need help with this question that my uncles teasing me on.

here it is

Identify the next 2 numbers in the sequence -

72, 53, 34, 25 , __, __

Answer 1

46 , 83

Answer 2

I don't know if this is right, but...

   72, 53, 34, 25, 16, 12

   Here's my logic (for all it's worth!)

  The pattern from right to left is: with alternate numbers, mulitply by two then add 1..add 2...add..3...add 4

  12x2=24...add 1 to get 25

  16x2=32...add 2 to get 34

   25x2=50...add 3 to get 53

   34x2=68...add 4 to get 72

   72 is the first in the sequence.



    (If there were a number before 72, it would be made by multiplying 53 by 2 and adding 5.)

   How does that sound?

Answer 3

Is the 4th number really 25?

if the 4th number is 15, then you just need to minus 19 on each step.

72-19= 53

53-19= 34

34-19= 15

15-19= -4

-4-19= -23
